The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), on Thursday, said that it supports the formation of an independent state of Palestine. "India always advocated the resumption of direct negotiations toward establishing a sovereign, independent and viable state of Palestine, living within secure and recognized borders," MEA spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said. This is India's first remark on Palestine since Hamas' rocket strikes on Israel.
